Compliance Markets · Voluntary Carbon Markets · International Carbon Credit Standards
Global carbon markets broadly encompass compliance markets and voluntary carbon markets, each with distinct regulatory frameworks, trading mechanisms, carbon credit standards and intended uses.

Within the voluntary carbon market, carbon credits may originate from different types of emissions reduction or removal projects and are developed, validated and issued under applicable standards and methodologies. Companies evaluating carbon credits should consider factors including project type, vintage, geography, standard, quality and intended use.

ASJ Global Group follows developments across global carbon markets and, through its international market and partner network, helps companies understand different carbon credit products and market mechanisms while connecting cross-border supply with market demand.
